Cork Councillors slated for stalling boundary extension

Cork’s county councillors have been accused of abusing a provision of the 1991 Local Government Act to stall the extension of the city boundary.

The claim came from veteran city councillor Tim Brosnan last night, after city councillors were briefed on their engagement with the group set up to implement the Mackinnon boundary proposals.

City CEO Ann Doherty said she and her team presented their enlarged city boundary proposal to the implementation group last week, and are now working on a range of issues before its next meeting later this month.
